chapter two

Third person point of view

Naruto namikaze home was on the other side of the mountain of konoha hokage heads, there was a small little cabin, it was surrounded by thick trees, it was nothing more than a two bedroom and a one bathroom home.

He stood at 6.2 feet tall, had a strong physique build, short blonde hair, blue eyes, and a pair of whisker marks on his cheeks, he wore black Geta sandals and black Jinbei outfit.

From the inside it was very simple with very simple basic furniture, one room was a bedroom while the other was a storage room for Ninja equipment and any other necessary item.

Naruto's point of view

The small little cabin was my home, it wasn't much and it wasn't a place where I would usually just sit around all day, this was a place where I had time to myself when I had no other missions to do.

I was only 18 and I had already completed 5,000 missions during my 8 years as a Shinobi.

I became a Shinobi in secret by danzo, after I failed the Ninja academy, my parents had pulled me out saying that I was not fit to be a Shinobi and I should try something else.

I didn't really want to become a Shinobi anyway, but I didn't want to stay in this village, I was considering running away cuz I had enough being mistreated by the villagers and neglected by my family.

Then an old man who called himself danzo had found me when I approached the gates to the hidden leaf village, I had recognized them before, I saw him come to my parents place multiple times, always adjusting that he should take me and train me.

Flashback third person point of view

Naruto was heading out with a backpack, it was something that he had found in a closet, it was old and it was from his brother old stuff that he no longer uses, all he had was some food, clothes and anything that could be useful which was really nothing more but a knife for defense and a map that was really nothing more but the village of konoha.

Danzo from the shadows appeared as Naruto was approaching the gate, "trying to run away are you?"

Naruto was stiff, afraid that he was about to be attacked by the old man that approached him slowly.

"Calm down, I'm not here to hurt you, but you know you can't really leave the village, you know that right?" Danzo ask.

Naruto looked down as he really had not much to say, being neglected by his family and outcast by The village, Naruto barely spoke.

"Look it's all right, I get the fact that you want to leave, since this village treats you nothing more but a monster that deserves to die, but honestly you're much more useful to this village than you think, you have so much potential and yet your own parents are not even trying to help you reach it," danzo said in its own that wasn't harsh or soft it was just stating the facts.

"You know kid, I do have a forbidden Shadow clone jutsu," danzo pulled out a scroll, "this could give you everything you want and make you very strong, I can offer you stability and the ability to leave this village but never truly leave at the same time."

Naruto looked confused and finally spoke, "I have seen you a couple times before, you always offer training but my parents always rejected the idea of you training me."

Danzo nodded in agreement, "yes, they do reject me from helping you."

Naruto took the scroll with shaking hands as he was still scared of this man in front of him, "why are you helping me though? No one helps me."

"Someone has to, just stay in the village and I'll secretly train you, you do a few things for me and I'll do a few things for you," danzo said as he stood back up, "come with me, I have a spot where we can training."

Flashback over

Naruto could still remember those nights, it took over a month but Naruto was able to master the shadow clone jutsu, creating multiple clones of himself that could be able to do multiple things at the same time and when they disappeared back to nothingness, all their memories and the things they did are sent back to the original user.

This was how Naruto was able to master it, he became a root neji, back when he was little he dyed his hair black, covered his face with a red and black wolf mask, a black shirt, gray shorts and black ninja sandals, doing some simple D rank missions and multiple ones across the village.

During the night though, Naruto was given ninja training, hand-to-hand combat, self-defense, and tricks to fool the enemies or lower them into a trap.

Eventually after a year when Naruto was 11, a shadow clone was left in his parents house as he was sent on his first C rank mission.

It was a nearby village of konoha that had a few people needing assistance to travel from one village to the other, the only problem was it was five different people wanting to go to five different other villages and to avoid wanting any assassinations as they were each trading important thing.

Naruto was able to use the shadow clone jutsu, luckily there was no issue.

Returning back to the hidden leaf, danzo looks down at him with pride.

Flashback

"I am proud of you Naruto, you have proven to be more able to control the shadow clone jutsu longer now and able to keep the clones stable throughout the days traveling to the separate villages," danzo said as you sit down.

"Yes it was good and I had no problems with any robbers as no one was in sight trying to rob them," Naruto said but then danzo stood up looking a bit serious as he began to pour himself a cup of tea.

"That was only because I had some of my men secretly follow you, they made sure no one would interfere with your mission," danzo said as he took a sip of his tea.

Naruto looks surprised and wonders, "but why? This was a solo mission?"

Danzo put down the cup and sit back down, "because I needed to test if you were able to use the clones that long as well this was more of a test to see if you were even able to handle being outside of the village, and I am proud to say you pass but from now on training is only going to get more difficult because I'm not going to keep sending my men the babysit you every mission."

Naruto nodded, now that he knows, Naruto was determined to get strong.

Flashback over

Naruto went looking through his ninja equipment when he spotted his binder collection, each one was dated from each mission he had taken from danzo, marking the rank, the date and even how long it took to complete and what was the mission about.

This was something Naruto did to pass the time, when he wasn't training or was in the middle of resting, Naruto would write about his time as a Shinobi.

Little did Naruto knees those finders could be useful for someone else.
